Farm Bureau members are bagging groceries from 10 am until noon at the County Market Stores at the Village Mall, in Towne Centre and at Tilton.

Mark Willard, Marketing Chairman for the Vermilion County Farm Bureau, says ''this is a great opportunity for us to meet with consumers, and let them put a face to the people who grow their food.''
